They definitely are no-nos, and just to clarify, I'm in the midst of
cleaning them all up as we speak! This is one of the drawbacks of
using Dreamweaver as an editor, since it automatically inserts the
html, head, and body codes, so if you're using toplogo, you need to
strip out the codes that Dreamweaver inserts.

We're trying to rebuild our OPAC web pages. We know something about
html and such, but can't figure out this III web server. We are not
on
Webpac pro. We are on the old Web OPAC system.
Specifically what we are having a problem with is the toplogo token.
The problem is that sometimes it adds <html> and <body> tags at the
start of the text it inserts into the page. This means that you
have to
put the toplogo token at the very start of your page, and you can't
have
a head in your page. That means you can't use your head to refer to
any
stylesheets or javascript, like a normal webpage would. If we put the
toplogo anywhere else in the html, then we get extra <html> and <body>
tags in the page.
I've been looking at other's pages, and I've found III sites that
actually have multiple <html> and <body> tags in the source code of
search result pages (CU Boulder and others).
Maybe such multiple tags aren't the major no-no they were when I
learned
this stuff? Can we go ahead and have them? Is there a way to use
them
safely without confusing browsers?
